Criminal case dropped by prosecution after evidence suppression hearing....!!!!!!

I have hired Risa several times..Risa is an amazing lawyer,who is down to earth and tells you like it is. Risa had my last case thrown out by suppressing evidence and also a traffic ticket thrown out on the same case. I would absolutely recommend Risa to anyone who has any legal troubles. Thanks ...again Risa YOU ARE THE BEST!!!¡ !!

Consummate Professional

Risa is a consummate professional. I was a difficult client at times, and she responded with firm, clear guidance at all times. She worked hard to understand what was important to me during my case, and to help me understand the process from our first meeting until the disposition of my case. She ...works hard, and really cares about her clients. I'd highly recommend Attorney Freeman.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
